Jay-Z‘s Tidal streaming service is making major moves in the African-American music loving community.

Good news for the company and its A-List shareholders below…

Exclusives from Rihanna, Beyonce Nicki Minaj, Madonna and Kanye West pushed its subscriber count to the 3 million users mark recently.

Quite interestingly, findings by Survey Monkey Intelligence found that only 18% of these users were White and that it was performing extremely well within Black and Hispanic communities.

Yes, as the bar chart above reveals, Tidal is the only streaming service that has seen the percentage of its Black subscribers cross the 30% point despite faring poorly with music enthusiasts from “other” racial backgrounds.

How it fares when compared to the same rivals a year after its Beyonce & Madonna-backed launch?

    • The Carter’s True Story April 12, 2016

      slow news day huh??? 🙁

    • ras April 12, 2016

      I really hope Beyonce make everybody buy her album and only, exclusively allow streaming on Tidal

  2. Aml April 12, 2016

    None wants to waste their hard earned money on this crap. I would honestly buy a Taylor Swift’s CD before I sign up for that bull….

    • Danyboo April 12, 2016

      WHY IS IT CRAP?

  3. Adeles flip phone. April 12, 2016

    Kii. Flop single, flop p**** that can’t birth a baby, flop yally wig and flko marriage. Poor bleachonce 🙁

  4. Adeles flip phone. April 12, 2016

    I thought the hivr said that once formation dropped tidal would be calling it

    • Lil Kim thee ONLY QB April 12, 2016

      Im still on my free premium trial and living. Only thing is that Tidal loses connection every time i tweet.

  5. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    Lawd have mercy I AM SCREAMING!!! Black folks don’t mean s### to Joe Camel! He wants that white acceptance! I told you folks Dumbyonce was a fraud. Singing abour Black Power while her husband is scrambling for white dollars! Joe Camel you can forget about those white dollars. Your dumb wife turned lots of whites off with that Flopation junk

    • rosy3 April 12, 2016

      I agree white people will never support him and bey white people support their own and keep the money flowing within but it’s good blacks are helping him out but I refuse to sign my 20 bucks when free music is out there no one cares about hearing music clearly people just wants music Spotify is good for 10 bucks you get all your favorite songs and Beyonce p*** off these white people obviously Beyonce cannot pull with whites as the hives put it I thought bey was queen

      • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

        Word on the street is that Beyawnce is being blacklisted since that Flopation song. Radio stations in the UK won’t play Flopation and Flopation hasn’t even chartes in the U.S. She had lots of supporters until she hopped on that Black Lives Matter bandwagon. Whites have the power whether she likes it or not. I want to see how her album turns out

  6. Rated R April 12, 2016

    I must say Tidal is pretty cool, and they offer student discounts . I recommend to at least give it a try , now I don’t use Pandora any more and it’s more user friendly

  7. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    I just said the same thing. I want to see how these idiotic flea hives are going to spin this

  8. Adeles flip phone. April 12, 2016

    Beyonce probably had to expose her p**** as usual in her next music video to get these sales up, but nobody wants to see the place Blue Ivy’s sister diėd

    • **** April 12, 2016

      Seriously? A Miscarriage is nothing to joke about but what the heck people in these comment sections make fun of stuff like aeroplane deaths and r***

      • LmfaoHoe April 12, 2016

        Sick bastards is what they are smh. Its one thing to talk s*** but on children, less fortunate, and death along with r*** are no laughing matters.

    • Wee April 12, 2016

      A miscarriage??? That girl didn’t have a miscarriage. That womb is polluted. Her price for selling her soul was her womb. She can’t have kids, but she wants to be publically accepted, so she faked having one. The rumors were leaked about a 2nd one. And since they couldn’t find a surrogate mother in enough time, they had to fake a miscarriage. I love Cici, but look how much her fan base grew after she had her baby! Beyonce is greedy and wants the spotlight and sponsors on her at all times. The more fame, the more souls she claims. Thats the TRUTH!!

  9. k April 12, 2016

    i love how we are supporting our people, i really respect this.

    • Carlitos April 12, 2016

      Support your people by actually buying their music, not just streaming it when there’s a free trial.

    • Wee April 12, 2016

      Our people? Lol! Speak for yourself. The Carters aren’t black anymore. They haven’t been for a long time. They only speak green these days. Their lyrics have NEVER reflected caring for black people. And since Beyonce claims to write her lyrics, you should be able to put 2 and 2 together. Especially from bull? like “Formation” and “Flawless.” They would be willing to nuke off the entire black race if they were paid enough. Stop watching her at interviews and watch her actions. That’s why I can’t stand her anymore…..

  10. RihYonce April 12, 2016

    I just really hope that Beyoncé doesn’t put her album exclusively on tidal (she probably won’t ) but still lol

    • rosy3 April 12, 2016

      The hives are the demise of Beyonce career the ruthless fan base and people are getting turn off by Beyonce because of them they attack mess with lululemon the whitest people on the planet keep up the good work hives threatening people won’t win points for bey

  11. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    Where are you fleahives now? If this was a story about Ciara or Rihanna the flea bags would be the first ones on here trying to “drag.” What’s the matter fleahives? Your a##es are embarrassed because Joe Camel doesn’t care about your black dollars? It’s the white folks dollars that he wants! Ha! Ha!

  12. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    TGJ, I see how you changed the heading and topic. Your original story was that Tidal was trying to get more white subscribers. You guys are so biased when it comes to Joe Camel and Dumbyonce

  13. Adeles flip phone. April 12, 2016

    Shhshshshwjsjwjs NOT TGJ CHANGING THE F****** TITLE! I WISH I SCREEN SHOOTED IT

  14. .:: Centurion ::. April 12, 2016

    Tidal still owes us Flopmation’s streaming numbers.

  15. HailBeysus April 12, 2016

    Tidal is not struggling. Y’all always come in early with these post.
    _____
    When Spotify first put out their paying option, within the first year they had 1 million paid subscribers. Now Tidal after 1 year has managed to accumulate over 2.5 million paid subscribers in 1 year. Tidal is doing just fine.

    • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

      Hey, what’s up, Hail Beysus? How does it feel that Joe Camel wants more whites to listen to Tidal? I thought him and his blow up doll was “pro black”? Lol!

    • King B April 12, 2016

      They say Beyonce will flop cuz the white people don’t support her anymore. That’s hilarious!????

    • Wee April 12, 2016

      Your Avatar alone makes me disagree with your posts. We all know they are Pro Beyonce! I can’t believe y’all haven’t seen through her bull yet! Lol!!!! Idiots!

  16. Metzo April 12, 2016

    3M in 12 months. Not bad at all! ??

  17. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    Dumbyonce can also forget about that Ivy Park junk selling out because we all know her ghetto hoodboogers fans don’t workout

  18. Mariah The Legend April 12, 2016

    why his lips so white? He must be doing coke with beyonce (flopation) since the struggle is real LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

  19. HailBeysus April 12, 2016

    ____

    • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

  20. Mariah The Legend April 12, 2016

  21. Mariah The Legend April 12, 2016

  23. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    What? No Annaloser? No Tyler Perry? No response from Hail Beysh##? What’s the matter? Cat got your tongues?

    • That soul April 12, 2016

      Lol, damn b****, you have NO LIFE lol. I’m no Beyonce or Rihanna stan, and in all seriousness, your obsession with these two women and their fans is sick. Also to add insult to your mental illness, you Stan for Ciara lol. Get a life h** lol and stop trolling TGJ.

      • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

        How does it feel that Joe Camel and Dumbyonce want more whites to listen to Tidal? Of course you want to deflect because you’re embarrassed! Lol!

      • That soul April 12, 2016

        Oh girl what goes on with Beyonce and Jay-Z business wise, is their thing, it’s not my concern.

        Back to YOU though, lol i’m convinced that you’re mentally ill. That’s the only possible reason for your unstable behavior on this blog.

      • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

        This is not about me! This is about Joe Camel wanting whites’ acceptance! Lol!

  24. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    ABSOLUTE DEATH at that dummy HailBeys### trying to deflect! Dumbyonce is the co owner of Tidal, dummy! It has everything to do with her! My gosh, why are you fleahives so stupid?

  25. RealNegro April 12, 2016

    It’s because most whites think that Jay Z is the CEO of Tidal. They refuse to give their money to a drug dealer.

  26. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    Annaloser, HailBeys###, Tyler Perry. Come out, come out wherever you are!

  27. RICHIE_RICH April 12, 2016

    That’s great 3m in a year ✊?✊?????????…

    Black business ✊?✊?✊?✊?✊?✊?✊?✊?

    • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

      But he wants more white listeners. Teehee

      • RICHIE_RICH April 12, 2016

        Ok it’s a business, but the fact remain Is blacks are supporting his business.

  28. DIABETIC STROKE April 12, 2016

    I doubt that 3M receipt is real. But shoutout to whatever the REAL tidal #s are. If its anywhere over 1.5 Mill ACTUAL subcribers that pay monthly then thats really impressive. How much do spotify users pay out of pocket. ?????

  29. DIABETIC STROKE April 12, 2016

    If they actually have 2 mill subcribers that pay an avg of $10 a month thats $200 million dollars generated per year and then some. The CARTERS pockets stay FAT!

    • #JACKIE April 12, 2016

      B**** you stay fat. When’s the last time you seen your rank ass p****?

  30. Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

    I bet not ever see you fleahives coming for Cici again! Every time you come for her I’m going to remind you dummies that Joe Camel and Dumbyonce want white folks’ money! Lol!

    • RICHIE_RICH April 12, 2016

      Chile boo. The hive will always remind you that CiCi doesn’t have a record deal either!!!!!

      I love CiCi but stay in your place !!!!!

      • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

        What’s worse? Ciara not having a record deal or your fave scrambling to get more white viewers?! Teehee!

  32. HailBeysus April 12, 2016

    Kiii my last comment was @9:59 and @Cinatard is still seething over The Queen! Damn bitxh does the most. Like I said they are pressed and Seething over Beyoncé. This post is about Tidal/Jay-Z not Beyoncé. The excuses they use to justify seething over The Queen!!!

    • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

      Beyawnce is the co owner of Tidal! Joe Camel and his wife don’t want to be associated with you hoodboogers that’s why they want more white listeners! Ha! Ha!

  33. Fake Songwriting Credits April 12, 2016

    Pathétique

  34. #JACKIE April 12, 2016

    Smoke and mirrors.

  35. That soul April 12, 2016

    This can’t be coincidence, because how in the world can all three of Ciara’s fans on this blog, be so damn pathetically obnoxious, insane, bottom feeding trolls. The only explanation for that is, it has to be one person acting a damn fool, it has to be lol, or Ciara has mentally unstable fans. I’ll go with the first thought, sounds more plausible.

    • #JACKIE April 12, 2016

      Girl bye. We only drag when provoked and the Hive has been trying it for the past few weeks. F*** you.

      • HailBeysus April 12, 2016

        Lmfao! Bitxh the Z-Listers have been trying it. When @Vagisal Cream said Fuxk the Hive her Gravatar was immediately turned into a Mrs Man pic. As of lately your girl @Cinatard as of lately has been severely trying it with the Hive lately. Its alwats her or that “Adele” stan mentioning Bey.

      • That soul April 12, 2016

        Lol There we have it, he or she brings out two of its troll accounts “Jackie and Cinnamon girl”. B****, enough already, you’re disturbing. Also, your attempts at dragging, is null an void, considering you stan for Ciara.

      • #JACKIE April 12, 2016

        B**** your LIFE is null and void. Stay pressed sis.

      • That soul April 12, 2016

        Lol My life is amazing b****, living and loving it. You on the other had, your displayed behavior on this blog says otherwise. Now get it together you schizo.

    • Cinnamon Girl April 12, 2016

      And your fave still wants whites’ acceptance!

  36. B2B April 12, 2016

    Most powerful dollar. Tidal is carving a lane for themselves in this streaming industry. Its not like Spotify or Apple Music. Really hoping they add a radio feature like Pandora or something so I can cancel Pandora 1.-telmadre

  37. Tran uk anti bloper honey love but it okay girl April 13, 2016

    Nice

  38. Duffster Lovato April 13, 2016

    The Z-Squad are really delusional. HeHe can’t even get approval from blacks and here they are speaking about Bey and white acceptance….. The delusion speaks for itself.
